hmmm. Had high hopes till I watched the trailer.

1. Much different lake
2. They already have a second season out on that one [added Nicole Kidman and Gwendoline Christie [Brienne of Tarth]].
3. I never could make it through season 1, but Peter Mullan was nails in Quarry.

even my wife said she couldn't make it thru season 1. i on the other hand (pun intended due to my injury at the time) had no choice. i ended up liking it, but it was weird.

watching the 'ozark' trailer, it gave off a similar vibe.

I can't believe they dropped the F bomb in a trailer. Looks pretty good. I'm in.

And I'm no Ozarks guy. The movie looks good.

I was all up in the lake yesterday an didnt see Jason Bateman.

IM CALLIN BULLSHIT

I knew a guy who killed two cops and tried to hide up there.

SPOILER: it's not a great place to hide...

i am 8 episodes in, and the show is great. marty's daughter creeps me out. looks like she should have starred in 'to the bones'.

Except 90% of it was filmed in Georgia

ROFL one of the boys' name is 'Three' ROFL

this show has a very 'breaking bad' vibe to it. i give this first season a 9 out of 10! :D

On ep. 3 and there's waaay too much Bateman happening. I'll likely finish it but this is like Andy Reid calling plays and playing QB.

Watched 3 episodes last night, not the greatest but I'll keep watching. It really irritates me how in any show/movie about the Ozarks every single local is portrayed as a back-woods hillbilly and/or meth-head reerun. Literally every single one.

So you don't like the realism?

I hate the wife. I want her dead.

:rolleyes:

Those types are an extreme minority. They're out here for sure, but its not every damn person like portrayed in Hollywood.

I think its funny the area of the Lake that they are suppose to be at is far from backwood rednecks. Good show. Some of the area was displayed right, pretty cool seeing and hearing my hometown area names and some of the legends on tv.

I think they've captured the perception of the Ozarks from everyone who lives outside of the Ozarks. Props to y'all if it's not accurate.

Will binge watch.

Lickity Split :)

Not saying it's not true there is still backwood people, but its like saying the perception of Chicago is the South Side.

Exactly. No point in crying about perception when everyone in the world is guilty of having one.

Also, the portrayal of Chicago in this is off as no one here would even entertain an Ozarks brochure right next to lake Michigan :D

i thought it was fine. It seemed to be a show that couldn't decide whether it was going to be funny like Weeds or more dark like Breaking Bad and was wildly inconsistent between the episodes.

Bingeing now. I like it.

"We're going to Kansas City"

"I don't want to go to Kansas City!"

"The Plaza is nice"

I binged it in two days, I liked it. I like about anything Jason Bateman does though.

Just finished it. I liked it. It wasn't as good as BB, but nothing is.

I don't think his name is actually Three. At one point in Ep. 3, Ruth says "Is 3 fightin' 2 again" or something to that effect. I think one is "... Langmore, Junior (aka II)" and the other "... Langmore, III."

I realize his credit on IMDB is "Three," but I think that's just all they call him, so we don't really know his name.

Loving this show here. 2 episodes in.

Has a modern day Deliverance feel to it.

So lots of male butt rape?

That sounds just like the Ozarks.

I'm only two episodes in, so I can't say for certain.

But the entire family who took the money smells a whole lot like sexual tension amongst relatives.

before three was born, the game was 'is 1 fighting with two again? or two is fighting with 1 again' they then decided to name the third, three? :D

do you feel the tension between bateman and the pub owner he is 'rescuing' from debt? :D

It was filmed at Lake Allatoona in Georgia near the Little River Marina. I drove by the set everyday for several months.

Agreed, and we finished it in 3 days. Was definitely good, to no surprise.

Really didn't expect

I watched it. It was pretty decent. They went down a lot of roads they couldn't get paid off. Maybe they'll do it in later seasons but they ate up a lot of scenes with not contributing much to the story.

Showing Marty's initial dealings with Del was good. As was Wendy not getting a job.

But what the **** was with showing Petty's mom being a crackhead? Sure it shows he is tortured or whatever, but it didn't really correlate to him being driven. Same with the preacher freaking out at the end. What good was that?

Then Rachel bailing with some money felt like an afterthought.

It was pretty tight early then it got kind of sloppy. It seems like they had a good idea got it out then were like now what?

But that's all pretty menial. The acting was pretty good across the board, especially Julia Garner. There was some wonky math on the laundering. There's no way they got the 8 M in AND out of those 2 little places. But overall a pretty good watch.

Dude. Did you watch? Most of the main characters from the area were not.

Rachel is definitely not.

Jacob may look and sound like a hillbilly but he was very intelligent and business savvy.

Ruth lived like trash but she wasn't a backwoods hillbilly. She was damned sharp too.

So then what? You're looking at the moron Langmore brothers. That's 2-5. Not very damned much.

Agreed. I've lived in Jersey my entire life and few times have I ran into Jersey Shore types yet many see that. So be it.

I'm trying to avoid spoilers so I haven't read through the entire thread, but has it been mentioned that this family is mosquito proof?

Just like in breaking bad!

Love this show. My favorite right now.

Backwoods hillbilly's can be intelligent, sharp and business savvy. Almost every local...main character or not...was portrayed as a backwoods hillbilly and/or white trash. If you didn't notice it I dont know what to tell you.

I just wasn't very impressed with the show. It could have been so much better. Good idea but the sloppy writing ruined it for me.

Because they have southern accents? WTF dude?

There is absolutely nothing about Jacob that makes him backwoods or hillbilly.

And if they are hillbilly or trash they are BY DEFINITION not intelligent, sharp or savvy.

Absolutely no way the characters in the show represent typical people around the area.

I bet 90% of the people in that area are more hillbilly and dumb than the "locals" in this show.

You are talking about me and Jasonsauto then.

The other 10%. Yes. :D

Yep, it is like they stopped by and filmed a few things around the Ozarks- like the statue of Big Chief, but the rest of the area looks off to me. Why not film there? I laughed when Marty kept sleeping outside- in the Ozarks - no tent or mosquito netting- yep, sure thing. :rolleyes:

I am just 4 shows in, I like it so far, but it is a bit far-fetched. How is Marty going to wash 500 million through 2 businesses? Also, the flaming gay FBI is just too weird. Did they have to put the gay blowjob in there- he is the law but paying males hookers?

I will probably finish the series, but it seems to be falling apart already.

BTW- Wendy should have gone off the balcony with her lover. She is annoying.

Its pretty much mandatory to have a gay character in every single show now.

Plenty of gay rednecks in the Ozarks.

Where did you get $500 millions? It's $8 million.

The pitch was $500M with $8M as a trial.

Absolutely loved this show. Finished it up last night. The final episode was even better than the 1st and the 1st was very good.

Can't wait for next season.

Exactly, they made it pretty obvious in this one though. I guess if you don't have a gay character people would be protesting in the streets over it. :shake:

I must have missed that part.

I realized the $8M was a trial run for something bigger.

Didn't know it was that much bigger?!!?

Yeah the desperate ramblings was $500M in 5 years which is kind of a big number.

i couldn't put my finger on it until now. but three's sister, reminds me of true romance's alabama. :D

Just finished it. Loved it. 8/10. Yeah there were loose ends but those will get fleshed out in later seasons. Good plot. Great acting.


And gay sex.

Could have done without the last bit.

Ruth?

She's nobody's sister.

She's that jackass in jails daughter living with her uncles Boyd and Russ. Wyatt and Three are brothers I think and they belong to Russ.

I dont know what True Romance's Alabama is.

Is the writer gay? It seems there is an agenda here.

Trying to like the show but there are a lot of loose ends that make zero sense. The writing when it comes to details is pretty poor. Hopefully, it gets better.

I hope that season 2 is better.

Yep, I think they are all cousins. She is a devious one for sure.

my bad, i just took her as the sister.

alabama was the stripper girlfriend of slater's character. :thumb:

Man, you are pretty damn cool guy, but this shit is petty and unnecessary.

...there are lowlifes EVERYWHERE.

Unable to take jokes yet posts on CP every day.



I'm from bum**** Montana. I know all about low lifes man.

Last two episodes were fantastic, IMO.

Took some turns I did not see coming. Not sure where it goes from here but the plot twists will at least keep it interesting. I really like Bateman's acting in this. Feels very real.

You're obsessed with homosexuality

I created a whole thread for your homophobic drama queen ass- you don't have to chase me from thread to thread anymore, Hollywood Stalker.

Keep your lies in that thread.

I didn't know you were joking(because you've done this before), but thanks for clarifying.

Have a great weekend!

Finished it up and would give it a B- for a grade. Nice concept and entertaining, but so many holes in the story. The writing could have been much tighter, seems they were making shit up on the fly. Jason Bateman is a robot.

I liked Ruth and the old man in the basement the best. Hopefully, season 2 will be better.

I agree with most of this. I think Bateman is doing a good job though. he's a smooth talker fo sho!

no idea if spoilers needed but I just left GOT thread....hahahaha



the guy in the basement is a scene stealer. it was driving me nuts....who is he...why do I recognize him. googled. he was the cop in Scarface who Pacino shot in the gut. he was all....you can't shoot me! I'm a cop! hahaha

Stephen King stated that he is following the show and likes the black humor undertones...."I'm hooked on OZARK. There's an undercurrent of black humor running through it that makes it special."

Guess I need to watch it again...

I gotta say, as much as I appreciate that he's a KC fan and brings attention to the Chiefs/Royals, Jason Bateman is a terrible actor.

I disagree with this and think his acting in Ozarks is very good and feels very real.

Agreed. It's a very nuanced part he's playing. And he did it well IMO.

I think you're thinking of the wrong person. Are you thinking of Jason Sudekis? He's the KC fan.
Posted via Mobile Device

Probably. But I could have sworn Bateman was too.

He has no emotion in his acting at all, no believable emotion anyway.

Definitely. Sudekis is terrible IMO. And yes, he's tied to KC sports.


I don't think Bateman is tied to KC at all.
